Wireframe/Smoothing lines in normal map?

CJE · Aug 2011

Anyone have a solution for removing wireframe lines in normal maps?

I'm baking a model and am getting some odd wireframe/smoothing lines on certain areas. Mirrored UV's are off 0-1 space.

Can't figure out what is causing it. Both with Raytrace and a Cage.

Using Max 2009 scanline

Here is a screen of the issue.

It seems like it's projecting the triangulation for some reason.

To add to what Perna said, also make sure those parts of the UV aren't overlapping and/or extremely small in size in weird ways, they won't have enough space to read information, so they'll create nasty dashes and twirls.
